Kate Middleton honours Princess Diana in a heartfelt Remembrance tribute

Kate Middleton captivated royal fans on Saturday evening as she attended the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, radiating grace in a look that paid moving tribute to both Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II.

Stepping out in a sleek black Alessandra Rich gown featuring a dramatic oversized white collar, the Princess of Wales evoked one of Diana’s most memorable 1980s fashion moments, a black velvet gown by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, the same duo who designed her wedding dress.

While Diana’s look was imbued with theatrical flair, Kate’s was restrained and modern, blending heritage with contemporary refinement.

Kate paired her look with the late Queen’s Bahraini pearl drop earrings as a nod to the late monarch.
